Abstract

Vehicle fender support, which, being specially designed for pointed fenders, finished off by its front end with a sharp vertex and with low height in this area, is characterized by being made up of a single-piece body, preferably obtained from a plastic material, in which two deep grooves are defined, laterally adjacent, one dimensionally suitable to receive tightly in its bosom to the upper marginal fold and angled downwards of the fender, and the other to the equally marginal flange of the hood, said part being prolonged in a lateral wing equipped with a hole for fixing by screwing to the front of the vehicle.

Description

Vehicle fender support.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a support, which has been specially designed for fixing the fenders of a vehicle to the body of the same, in the Car assembly time.

The object of the invention is to achieve a notable simplification in said fixation, especially in pointy fender complexions, where the availability of Hood space is minimal.

The invention thus falls within the scope of the automotive industry, and the support guarantees the correct fender positioning at the time of mounting the car.

Background of the invention

As is known, complexion fenders Pointy should bring the stand near the sharp end, to guarantee the value of the franchise with the hood. This piece does not it can be placed at such an end, since not enough is available surface of support in the sheet, reason why it becomes precise have an additional piece, which includes this support, avoiding thus the risk of deformation in the fender.

Sometimes the fender support forms part of the piece, which can cause a very assembly process complex.

The current design trend requires a additional piece where the fixing bracket for the assembly of this type of pointed fenders, but obviously said additional piece is not desirable, since its existence itself has a negative impact on the cost level, complicating the assembly.

Description of the invention

The support proposed by the invention resolves fully satisfactory way the problem above exposed, constituting an autonomous element, attachable to the front of the vehicle, on which the fender is fixed and in which also fits the hood that establishes the proper continuity with the aforementioned fender.

To do this and more specifically said support it is constituted by a single piece body in which they establish two deep laterally adjacent grooves, one intended to receive the corresponding edge of the fender, specifically the marginal and upper fold that reinforces it, while the second slot, in more internal arrangement, is intended to receive the marginal area of the hood and presents a profile suitable to the frame of said hood.

The aforementioned single-piece body, with the two slots cited, extends laterally in a perforated wing for fixing by screwing or riveting to the front of the vehicle.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic in plan, the left part of the front of a vehicle fitted with a pointed fender and with the support for fixing said fender that is the object of the present invention

Figure 2.- Shows a detail in perspective of said fender support isolated from the vehicle.

Figure 3.- Shows, according to a representation in perspective, the same detail in figure 1 with the hood of the open vehicle

Figure 4.- Shows a similar representation to that of figure 3, but in which the hood of the vehicle appears closed.

Figure 5.- Shows, finally, a section A-A on the front of the vehicle, in accordance with the cut line indicated in figure 1.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the support that is recommended is intended to fenders (1), pointed that is with very low height in its anterior limb configuring a vertex of low amplitude, which must be fixed to the front (2) of the vehicle and that must be set superficial continuity with the outer face (3) of the hood, or shell lining (4) thereof.

Well, the support that is recommended, perfectly visible in figure 2, it consists of a body car in which a pair of parallel and very close partitions (5), determine a deep groove (6) in which the classic inner and bottom fold (7) of the fender (1), such as seen in the section of figure 5, in a position of maximum proximity to the anterior and pointed limb of said fenders (1), as shown in Figure 4.

The aforementioned support represented in detail in the Figure 2, in addition to the two partitions (5) cited and determinants of the groove (6), has a third partition (8), determinant with one of the previous ones of a also deep groove (9), in this case divergent towards its mouth, destined to receive the flange (10) of the hood (3), as can also be seen in the aforementioned figure 5.

Finally the partition (8) and after a bend dihedral, extends into a wing (11), equipped with a hole (12), for fixing by screwing the front (2) of the vehicle.

Claims (1)

1. Support for vehicle fenders, which being specially designed for pointed fenders, topped by its front end in a sharp vertex and with low height in this area, is characterized by being constituted by a single piece body, preferably obtained based on plastic material , in which two deep grooves are defined, laterally adjacent, one dimensionally suitable to receive tightly in its bosom the upper marginal fold and bent down the fender, and the other to the equally marginal flange of the hood, said piece being extended in a lateral wing equipped with a hole for fixing by screwing the front of the vehicle.
